woohoo! - sv650 (nklr)

[Jim Hyman]

I just finished speaking with Steven van Twuyver. He's in California and headed north to Oregon, Washington & Alaska. Fortunately, he brought his stock stator and regulator/rectifer with him on his trip, just in case there were any problems with the Electrex units. To make a long story short, he did field surgery to re-install the stock stator & regulator. His symptoms were nearly identical to Dash's charging system problems. Steven left on the trip with a brand new battery and still had charging system problems. Everything is electrically ok now. Bottom line, 3 listers have had problems with the Electrex units and Dash's CDI may have been fried by the Electrex units. I'm going to check with a Seattle shop to see if they can sell new and/or rewound KLR stators as well as higher power regulators. This shop rewinds aircraft, auto, & m/c rotors and stators.

I assume Zipper is your Suzuki SV650. How do you like it? I was thinking about getting one. Except all the (good) dealers here are sold out. No SV's do in until september or october. I haven't even got a chance to sit on one. Yoshimura makes a nice set of titanium pipes for it. I heard the Sv650's are for shorter people. I'm 6ft 4in.

Rich, Neil (Carmic7...) responded to my post & mentioned Ricky Stators. I found them at http://www.rickystators.com and e-mailed them, requesting info about performance specs, pricing & warranty. They sell an ATV unit for the Banshee for $230 with 200 watt output & a 1 year warranty. I didn't see any info about their selling a higher output regulator/rectifier. I'll certainly keep the list informed of any useful info. I'm sure that Steven will be glad that he has helped save another lister from grief. Jim ------------------------ Rich Kickbush wrote:
